This Month:

1. Help cook dinner at Harvard Square Homeless Shelter

CANCELLED (Due to concerns about COVID-19 safety, the shelter cancelled this)
Monday, March 16
6:30-9:15 pm
Harvard Square Homeless Shelter

We are looking for 4 volunteers to help out with a shift for the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter (HSHS). This falls during Harvard’s spring recess which is a time when the HSHS needs volunteers most since many of its regular volunteers are out of town. SEAS-GC is looking to jump in and help with your support! During this dinner shift, volunteers would prepare and serve dinner to the guests, clean up afterward, and then help the guests with anything they might need.

If you are interested, please contact Jack Killian
